An example is my husband who ran off and left and now wants to come back and "visit overnight". He wanted his freedom and independence yet doesn't want to leave me and my kids alone. It doesn't work both ways.
He wants t have his cake and eat it too.

The idea is that two mutually exclusive propositions or conditions cannot both be simultaneously true. e.g. If you eat your cake, then you don't have it anymore, it's been eaten. If you have your cake, then you haven't eaten it because you still have it.

For example you can't date 2 men and them both be ok with it. You have to make a choice.

This statement means that you can have one thing, but you can't have everything, or atleast that's what it means to me.
